Report: Former Johnson County Supervisor Terrence Neuzil quits Michigan job

Less than four months after former Johnson County Supervisor Terrence Neuzil took the helm of Kalamazoo County government in Michigan, he quit Tuesday night following a closed-door meeting with the elected officials who hired him.

According to a report by the MLive.com news organization, which covers local news there, the Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners accepted his resignation following a private meeting that lasted more than two hours.

Neither he nor board members gave the news organization a reason behind the resignation.

The Gazette reported last month that Neuzil had been placed on paid leave March 15 but county officials there would not say why.

'The county is following its policies and procedures to address personnel matters,' a new release said at the time. 'In order to protect the rights of all persons involved in any personnel matters, the county does not comment, or answer questions, prior to the conclusion of the county's process.'

MLive.com reported that the resignation is effective immediately and was tendered before the county had completed its investigation.

Neuzil is a Democrat who served on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors from 2001 until the end of last year. His salary would have been less than $60,000 if he had stayed on.

The Kalamazoo County commissioners hired him late last year to be county administrator at a salary advertised to be between $130,000 and $150,000 a year.
